Description

This cuvée comes from a 118 hectare estate and is the second wine of Château Lagrange, a troisième cru classé located in the Saint-Julien appellation. The grapes are harvested by hand and then sorted, before undergoing plot-by-plot vinification. It is then aged in barrels for 13 months, which adds spiced notes to the delicate mix of black and red fruits.

Wine Advocate : “Some 52% of the estate’s production was consecrated to the 2023 Les Fiefs de Lagrange, an attractive, medium to full-bodied wine redolent of cassis, licorice and plums. With good depth at the core and sweet, powdery tannins, it’s a vibrant Saint-Julien that will age with grace. A further 6% of Lagrange’s output was bulked out to maintain the quality of this cuvée, and that shows.”
